Tipkovnice postaju umjetnost. Danas možete pronaći entuzijaste koji su strastveni prema svojim mehaničkim tipkovnicama kao i svi koji skupljaju tenisice, stripove, video igrice ili bilo što drugo što vam padne na pamet.

Baš kao i kod bilo kojeg kolekcionarskog ili modnog komada, najcjenjeniji predmeti obično su oni neobične estetike ili ekskluzivnosti - ako izgleda zanimljivo ili ga je teško pronaći, ljudi to žele. Isto vrijedi i za mehaničke tipkovnice, a tijekom posljednjeg desetljeća došlo je do porasta hipsterskih marki mehaničkih tipkovnica.

Vjerojatno ste čuli za Razer , Corsair , SteelSeries i Logitech za njihove mehaničke tipkovnice. Postoji još mnogo toga koji nisu dobili istu pažnju. Igrači, posebno Twitch streameri, sada podižu neke od ovih manje poznatih marki na popularnost.

Bilo zbog konstrukcije i osjećaja ovih tipkovnica, njihove estetike ili jednostavno zbog osjećaja da za njih saznaju prije svih ostalih, mnogi ljudi počinju tražiti najpopularnije nove mehaničke tipkovnice prema prodavačima trećih strana i u inozemstvu. U ovom članku razgovarajmo o četiri brenda na koje biste trebali paziti.

Ljubak^(Ducky)

Ducky tipkovnice, DuckyChannel International Co. sa sjedištem u Tajvanu , vjerojatno su najpriznatija marka na ovom popisu. Svjetski poznati igrači poput Tfuea^(Tfue) viđeni su na streamu koji koriste Ducky tipkovnice, a možda su najpoznatiji po suradnji s drugim popularnim brendovima, stvarajući glasne i živopisne boje.

Na primjer, Ducky je surađivao s Razerom^(Razer) kako bi izdao verziju svog modela Ducky One 2 koji^{(Ducky One 2 model)} sadrži Razerove vlastite tipke. Novija One 2 Mini suradnja koju je ^{(One 2 Mini collaboration)} Ducky imao je sa Frozen Llama . Njih dvoje su se udružili kako bi objavili elegantnu tipkovnicu od 60% koja sadrži cijan, ljubičastu i baby plavu PBT tipku. Ovo izdanje također je bilo ograničeno na samo 3000 klavijatura.

Međutim, Duckyjevi vlasnički modeli, poput Ducky Shine linije, nisu ništa na što treba slegnuti ramenima. Značajke Ducky Shine 7 uključuju dvostruke PBT tipke, podršku za Razer Chroma Broadcast , Ducky Macro 2.0 i Duckyjev vlastiti RGB softver, podesive nožice u tri razine, RGB pozadinsko osvjetljenje i opcije prekidača uključujući gotovo svaku vrstu boja Cherry MX .

Još jedna prednost koja dodaje malo mističnosti kupnji Ducky tipkovnice je da se često isporučuju s dodatnim razmaknicama. Za model Ducky Shine 7 , MechanicalKeyboards.com navodi: “Možete dobiti razmaknicu Year of Dog , Year of the Pig ili uopće ne dobiti dodatni razmaknicu. Ne znamo što je u kutiji u trenutku slanja vaše narudžbe.”

Anne

Klavijature Anne , koje su proslavili modeli Anne Pro i Anne Pro 2 , proizvodi Obins . Oba modela poznata su po svom kompaktnom dizajnu sa 61 tipkom. Anne Pro linija eliminira svaku tipku desno od tipke Backspace , kao i funkcijski red F1–F12 , u korist jedne funkcijske^(Function) tipke.

Mehaničke tipkovnice često dolaze s reputacijom izvrsnih za igranje igara, ali dizajn Anne Pro možda nije najbolji za tu svrhu. Iako s funkcijskom^(Function) tipkom možete koristiti brojčani red kao F1–F12 i WASD kao strelice, mnoge igre zahtijevat će lakši pristup tim tipkama.

Međutim, Anne Pro 2 , Obinsova vodeća tipkovnica, fantastična je za osnovnu namjenu tipkanja. Isporučuje se s PBT poklopcima za tipke, podrškom za povezivanje putem USB - a i BLE 4.0 (uključujući USB kabel i Bluetooth adapter), RGB pozadinskim osvjetljenjem i alatom za izvlačenje ključeva.

Za razliku od mnogih mehaničkih tipkovnica koje se isporučuju s Cherry MX prekidačima, Anne Pro i Anne Pro 2 imaju Gateron prekidače – plavu, crvenu^(Red) i smeđu^(Brown) . Gateron se često recenzira da ima glađe i manje grebanje prekidača u usporedbi s Cherryjem^(Cherry) .

Možete pročitati više o Anne tipkovnicama i pronaći ih navedene na službenoj stranici Obinsa^{(official Obins website)} (nije izvorno na engleskom) i Neweggu^(Newegg) .

Leopolda^(Leopold)

Leopoldove tipkovnice često se sviđaju entuzijastima koji stvarno vole mehaničke tipkovnice s niskim obrvom, retro estetikom. Iako imaju neke šarenije modele, kao što je FC750R Swedish Edition , većina Leopold tipkovnica ima sive i crne, iako su mnoge od njih dvobojne.

Neuljepšani stil Leopold tipkovnica prenosi se na nazive modela njihovih tipkovnica. Dok Ducky ima Shine , a Anne Pro , Leopold je poznat po svojim FC750R , FC980M , FC660M i sličnim modelima.

Leopold tipkovnice također imaju nekoliko vrlo zanimljivih rasporeda. Na primjer, FC980M eliminira donju lijevu tipku numeričke tipkovnice za kompaktniji dizajn u odnosu na tipke sa strelicama. FC660M ima raspored od 65% gdje dvije tipke "vise" u njegovom gornjem desnom kutu .^(FC660M)

Još nisam vidio Leopold model s pozadinskim osvjetljenjem, a velika većina ima PBT tipke i Cherry MX prekidače – crnu^{(– Black)} , smeđu^(Brown) , plavu^(Blue) i crvenu^(Red) , iako mnogi nude i posebnu Silent Red , FC980M dodatno nudi Clear, a FC750R dodatno nudi srebro^(Silver) .

Jedan od najsjajnijih Leopold modela je FC980C Black Dye . Sadrži crno-crne (ili vrlo tamno sive) PBT kapice za tipke i Topre 45g prekidače. Leopoldove^(Leopold) klavijature možda nisu blistave, ali ne nedostaju korisnih opcija.

Akko

Akko je jedna od najsvestranijih marki tipkovnica za koju vjerojatno nikada niste čuli. Nije ništa poput Leopolda –^{(Leopold –)} s Akkom^(Akko) ćete dobiti lude boje i ogromnu raznolikost kada su u pitanju pozadinsko osvjetljenje, uzorci školjki i druga estetika.

Poput Duckyja^(Ducky) , neke od Akkovih najzgodnijih klavijatura proizvod su suradnje. Slučajno, jedan od njihovih najbližih suradnika je Ducky — na^{(Ducky—for)} primjer, Akko X Ducky 3084 , koji ima tri boje školjke i poklopca (crna, cijan i ružičasta) s gravurama na prednjoj strani svake tipke (umjesto na vrhu). Tu su i Akko X Ducky 3108S RGB , Akko X Ducky One 2 Skyline , te jedna od najglasnijih i najluđih mehaničkih tipkovnica koje sam ikad vidio, Akko X Ducky Shine 6 Year of the Monkey Limited Edition .

Ipak, opet^(Again) , baš kao i Ducky , Akkovi solo modeli su fantastični. Najpoznatiji su modeli Akko 3108 i 3087, koji sadrže verzije poput World Tour Beijing , 9009 Retro , Dragon Ball Z Vegeta i Cupid .

Glavna prednost Akka^(Akko) je njegova raznolikost, ne samo u bojama nego i prekidačima i rasporedu tipkovnice. Pronaći ćete Akko tipkovnice s Cherry MX ili Gateron prekidačima, u punoj veličini, rasporedu bez ključa i 60% te nekoliko drugih stilova. Akko je teško uklopiti u kutiju zbog široke palete klavijatura koje proizvodi.

Međutim, ako tražite šarene mehaničke tipkovnice s nekim od najljepših razmaknica u industriji, Akko je vrijedan vaše pažnje.

Možete pročitati više o Akko tipkovnicama i pronaći ih navedene na službenoj stranici Akko^{(official Akko website)} (nije izvorno na engleskom) i Neweggu^(Newegg) .

Bilo da se radi o onim debelim PBT poklopcima za tipke, kompaktnim okvirima, prekidačima koji se mogu kliknuti i taktilnim tipkama ili samo o prekrasnom asortimanu boja, ove četiri marke imaju sve što trebate ako želite impresionirati novom mehaničkom tipkovnicom.

4 Lesser-Known Mechanical Keyboard Brands & Why They’re Worth Trying

Keyboards are becoming an art form. Today, you can find enthusiasts that arе are as passionate about their mechanical kеyboards as anyone who collects sneakers, comic bookѕ, video games, or anything else you can think of.

Just like with any collectible or piece of fashion, the most prized items are usually those with quirky aesthetics or exclusivity – if it looks interesting or is hard to find, people want it. The same holds true with mechanical keyboards, and there has been a surge in hipsteresque mechanical keyboard brands over the past decade.

You’ve probably heard of Razer, Corsair, SteelSeries, and Logitech for their mechanical keyboards. There are plenty more out there that haven’t got the same attention though. Gamers, especially Twitch streamers, are now lifting some of these lesser-known brands to popularity.

Whether it is due to the build and feel of these keyboards, their aesthetics, or just the feeling of finding out about them before everyone else, many people are beginning to look towards third-party and overseas retailers for the hottest new mechanical keyboards. In this article, let’s talk about four brands that you should keep an eye out for.

Ducky

Ducky keyboards, from Taiwan-based DuckyChannel International Co., are probably the most recognized brand on this list. World-famous gamers such as Tfue have been seen on stream using Ducky keyboards, and they may be known best for collaborations with other popular brands, producing loud and vibrant colorways.

For example, Ducky has collaborated with Razer to release a version of its Ducky One 2 model featuring Razer’s very own key switches. A more recent One 2 Mini collaboration Ducky has had is with Frozen Llama. The two teamed up to release a sleek 60% keyboard featuring cyan, purple, and baby blue PBT keycaps. This release was also limited to just 3,000 keyboards.

However, Ducky’s proprietary models, such as the Ducky Shine line, are nothing to shrug at. Features of the Ducky Shine 7 include double-shot PBT keycaps, support for Razer Chroma Broadcast, Ducky Macro 2.0, and Ducky’s own RGB software, three-level adjustable feet, RGB backlighting, and switch options including almost every Cherry MX color type.

Another perk that adds a bit of mystique to buying a Ducky keyboard is that they will often ship with extra spacebars. For the Ducky Shine 7 model, MechanicalKeyboards.com states, “You may receive a Year of the Dog spacebar, Year of the Pig spacebar, or no extra spacebar at all. We do not know what’s in the box at the time of shipping your order.”

You can read more about Ducky keyboards and find them listed at the official Ducky website, MechanicalKeyboards.com, Newegg, and Amazon.

Anne

Anne keyboards, made famous by the Anne Pro and Anne Pro 2 models, are manufactured by Obins. Both models are known for their compact 61-key design. The Anne Pro line eliminates every key to the right of the Backspace key, as well as the F1–F12 function row, in favor of a single Function key.

Mechanical keyboards often come with a reputation of being great for gaming, but the Anne Pro’s design may not be best for this purpose. Although with the Function key, you can use the numerical row as F1–F12 and WASD as arrows, many games will demand easier access to these keys.

However, the Anne Pro 2, Obins’ flagship keyboard, is fantastic for basic typing purpose. It ships with PBT keycaps, support for connection via USB and BLE 4.0 (including a USB cable and Bluetooth adapter), RGB backlighting, and a key puller.

Unlike many mechanical keyboards which ship with Cherry MX switches, the Anne Pro and Anne Pro 2 feature Gateron switches – Blue, Red, and Brown. Gateron is often reviewed as having smoother and less scratchy switches when compared to Cherry.

You can read more about Anne keyboards and find them listed at the official Obins website (not natively in English) and Newegg.

Leopold

Leopold keyboards often appeal to a niche set of enthusiasts who really love mechanical keyboards with a low-brow, retro aesthetic. Although they do feature some more colorful models, such as the FC750R Swedish Edition, most Leopold keyboards feature grays and blacks, although many of them are two-toned.

The unembellished style of Leopold keyboards carries over to its keyboards’ model names. While Ducky has the Shine and Anne has the Pro, Leopold is known for its FC750R, FC980M, FC660M, and similarly named models.

Leopold keyboards also feature a few very interesting layouts. For example, the FC980M eliminates the bottom-leftmost key of the number pad for a more compact design against the arrow keys. The FC660M features a 65% layout where two keys “hang” in its top-right corner.

I’ve yet to see a Leopold model with backlighting, and the vast majority feature PBT keycaps and Cherry MX switches – Black, Brown, Blue, and Red, although many also offer the special Silent Red, the FC980M additionally offers Clear, and the FC750R additionally offers Silver.

One of the most flashy Leopold models is the FC980C Black Dye. It features black-on-black (or very dark gray) PBT keycaps and Topre 45g switches. Leopold keyboards may not be about being flamboyant, but they come with no shortage of useful options.

You can read more about Leopold keyboards and find them listed at MechanicalKeyboards.com, Newegg, and Amazon.

Akko

Akko is one of the most versatile keyboards brands that you’ve probably never heard of. It’s nothing like Leopold – with Akko, you’re going to get crazy colorways and a huge variety when it comes to backlighting, shell patterns, and other aesthetics.

Like Ducky, some of Akko’s coolest keyboards are a product of collaborations. Coincidentally, one of their closest collaborators is Ducky—for example, the Akko X Ducky 3084, which features three shell and keycap colors (black, cyan, and pink) with engravings on the front of each key (instead of the top). There’s also the Akko X Ducky 3108S RGB, Akko X Ducky One 2 Skyline, and one of the loudest and wildest mechanical keyboards I’ve ever seen, the Akko X Ducky Shine 6 Year of the Monkey Limited Edition.

Again, though, just like Ducky, Akko’s solo models awesome. The Akko 3108 and 3087 models are its most famous, featuring versions such as the World Tour Beijing, 9009 Retro, Dragon Ball Z Vegeta, and Cupid.

The main draw to Akko is its variety, not only in colorways but also switches and keyboard layouts. You’ll find Akko keyboards with Cherry MX or Gateron switches, full-size, tenkeyless, and 60% layouts, and several other styles. It’s difficult to fit Akko into a box due to how wide a variety of keyboards it manufactures.

However, If you’re looking for colorful mechanical keyboards with some of the most beautiful spacebars in the industry, Akko is worth your attention.

You can read more about Akko keyboards and find them listed at the official Akko website (not natively in English) and Newegg.

Whether it’s those thick PBT keycaps, compact frames, clicky and tactile key switches, or just the beautiful assortment of colors, these four brands have everything you need if you’re looking to impress with a new mechanical keyboard.
